As expected, Echo struggled a bit, but accepted the pack ordering once more - for now, anyway. Their time apart seemed to make Echo more aggressive than usual, as opposed to Delta's increase in problem solving skills. Either way, the utahraptor didn't think about this interesting perception for long; now that the status quo remained upheld, Echo's upstart went to the back of her brain, forgiven and nearly forgotten. Indeed, she had something new to focus her primitive logic onto: the crippled kitty that Echo already locked onto as a potential target. She chuffed in slight irritation - prey that small hardly seemed worth the effort, but she wouldn't turn down an easy snack when its injuries made it such an obvious target.
Circling to Roy's side, she growled as the mammal performed magic to attack her sister. "Back up, circle!" she babbled to Echo, knowing there were easier targets around. Like Bast and the young mammal, this one possessed weird abilities that she didn't know how to counter - though, where the others held carrion producing abilities, this one seemed potentially capable of harming them. For now, she just wanted Echo to back up and try to outflank the fire-wielding creature.
Turning her attention back to Roy, she let out a loud shriek at him. Her sickle claw tapped on the ground, as she looked at the mammal with an oddly intelligent gaze. Right now, she knew - from living in this territory for a week - that Roy belonged to the mammal group that lived here, obvious by the scent clinging to his fur. Thus far, that pack left her alone if she left them alone. Yet, this was also the first time she encountered a situation where one of them could potentially hurt her or one of her sisters. Right now, it seemed equally likely that he'd just walk away or continue to attack them. Hence the standoff; if he wanted to hurt the pack, she'd lead the charge to attack him right back.
